walker mower decks?

thinking of getting 62" deck for my new 20hp walker. want to know if this walker will handle the 62" or should i buy the 52". the 52" does have the mulching attachment available and wonder if the 20hp will handle the 52" with the mulching deck"

I don't own a 20HP but it is a good motor from the input I have seen here. I do own the 52 and know that it is a beast. The doubles and mulch kit are awesome for me but I have a 26EFI that spins it nicely. I think you may be able to run either deck but if you have a chance, get in touch with your regional rep and get both to demo on your properties. I personally would stay with the 52 but that is from my own experience on my lawns.

I Demoed a 52" deck, with a mulch kit, on my 20hp Walker. I felt the 52" was about all that the 20Hp engine would handle. It was struggling a little, to mulch really heavy St. Augustine grass. I thought the 52" deck, with the mulch kit did leave a nice looking cut.
After that demo, I am positive the bigger deck would be more than the 20hp engine can handle, in all but the lightest of cutting conditions

You got lucky ....I'll bet you won't have liked a 62" mulching deck with the 20 hp engine. We was considering putting a 18 hp on a 36" deck. And the Walker I have can't be raised very high for high grass.

that is a great price. Is it a tip up or an older style? Are you running the doubles on it? I have the doubles on it without the mulch plates. It is an excellent deck for all of my conditions. Congrats on the purchase, you will really like it.
